FAKE VIAGRA DEALERS FIND IT REALLY STINGS

-

The IPKat took great delight in reading in yesterday's Telegraph about a wonderful sting operation in which dozens of suspected gangsters, many of them from China, arrived for a wedding in New Jersey only to discover that the bride and groom were FBI agents and that they were under arrest.

Gold-embossed invitations had promised guests free hotel rooms and transport to a reception on a yacht called Royal Charm in Atlantic City harbour. Complimentary limousines were waiting - but only to take the guests, in all their wedding finery, to holding cells. Those held have been charged with smuggling vast quantities of arms, counterfeit Viagra, ecstasy and forged dollar bills into America.

The undercover FBI agents, who posed as business partners keen on distributing smuggled goods, had spent years cultivating Asian-based mobsters. The "couple" decided that a lavish wedding was the best way to lure the smugglers into the US.

The IPKat is delighted to see that so elegant a means was found for ensnaring the villains. Merpel says, "It's not fair, I never even got an invitation ..."

    Surely rabbits are the creatures on earth least likely to need Viagra?

    What happened to the wedding presents they brought? Chinese custom is if attending a lavish wedding you bring appropriate lavish gifts.

    The Daily Telegraph reported that one "guest" brought matching Rolex watches for the happy couple. Unforunately, history does not record what happened to them.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
